For tins a thorough knowledge of scientific principles applied to building, ability and correct taste in design, and a technical knowledge of the various building trades, with skill in the use of tools, are necessary, and are prominent objects of the course of instruction. The course embraces the knowledge of theory and principles of constructive details and of the ordinary routine work of office practice, so far as these can be taught in a technical school. The technical instruction is given chiefly by lectures, with reference to text books, and is illustrated by sketches, engravings, photographs, and models; practical applications are immediately made by students. Drawing is practiced throughout the course, and, as far as possible, original work is executed. Drawing from casts and modeling in clay give facility in sketching details and correct knowledge of form.
